Switch to flashing GC16, because the screen is so fast that using GL16
simply leaves us with an unreadable mess of ghosting.
I'm halfway considering rewriting this in Lua so that I can do a proper
batched update...
cores
* Only keep a single core online most of the time.
* Device: Add an enableCPUCores method to allow controlling the amount of
online CPU cores.
* Move the initial core onlining setup to Kobo:init, instead of the startup script.
* Enable two CPU cores while hinting new (e.g., cache miss) pages in PDF land.
* Enable two CPU cores while processing book metadata.
* Drive-by fix to isolate the DocCache pressure check to KoptInterface
and actually apply it when it matters most (e.g., k2pdfopt stuff).
It turns out that the kernel needs a little push now that the dedicated
wifi power control module is gone ;).
Issue was only exposed if you booted KOReader while the Wi-Fi was down.
The hyphenation of a word can be changed from its default
by long pressing for 3 seconds and selecting 'Hyphenate'.
These overrides are stored in a per-language file, i.e:
koreader/settings/user-German.hyph.
* Wherever possible, do an actual dumb invert on the Screen BB instead of repainting the widget, *then* inverting it (which is what the "invert" flag does).
* Instead of playing with nextTick/tickAfterNext delays, explicitly fence stuff with forceRePaint
* And, in the few cases where said Mk. 7 quirk kicks in, make the fences more marked by using a well-placed WAIT_FOR_UPDATE_COMPLETE
* Fix an issue in Button where show/hide & enable/disable where actually all toggles, which meant that duplicate calls or timing issues would do the wrong thing. (This broke dimming some icons, and mistakenly dropped the background from FM chevrons, for example).
* Speaking of, fix Button's hide/show to actually restore the background properly (there was a stupid typo in the variable name)
* Still in Button, fix the insanity of the double repaint on rounded buttons. Turns out it made sense, after all (and was related to said missing background, and bad interaction with invert & text with no background).
* KeyValuePage suffered from a similar issue with broken highlights (all black) because of missing backgrounds.
* In ConfigDialog, only instanciate IconButtons once (because every tab switch causes a full instantiation; and the initial display implies a full instanciation and an initial tab switch). Otherwise, both instances linger, and catch taps, and as such, double highlights.
* ConfigDialog: Restore the "don't repaint ReaderUI" when switching between similarly sized tabs (re #6131). I never could reproduce that on eInk, and I can't now on the emulator, so I'm assuming @poire-z fixed it during the swap to SVG icons.
* KeyValuePage: Only instanciate Buttons once (again, this is a widget that goes through a full init every page). Again, caused highlight/dimming issues because buttons were stacked.
* Menu: Ditto.
* TouchMenu: Now home of the gnarliest unhilight heuristics, because of the sheer amount of different things that can happen (and/or thanks to stuff not flagged covers_fullscreen properly ;p).
* Bump base
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1280https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1282https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1283https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1284
* Bump android-luajit-launcher
https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/284https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/285https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/286https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/287
platform: do not pass a directory on the command line.
The home directory will be properly set by Device.home_dir.
It was sometimes crashing when opened with no args.
Fixes: #7049
* Modernize jit syntax
It's built-in, no need for a require anymore.
* Flag Android should_restrict_JIT again
It's mildly helpful at putting off the inevitable.
(very, very, very, very mildly).
* Bump android-luajit-launcher
https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/281
* Comment the brew shenanigans
(And support non-standard brew prefixes, just in case)
* Bump base to pickup https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1260
* Handle libsodium, too

* Warn on restart if the startup script has been updated, because a restart will not reload it.
* Also warn right after the update if it contained a startup script update...
* Run grep against /proc/modules directly instead of forking to lsmod
* Revamp the CPUFreq governor choice logic
I finally figured out why the scaling on the H2O was so wonky:
Because it relies on an obscure i.MX hardware feature called DVFS,
and it gets flipped for mysterious workaround-y reasons depending on
Wi-Fi state...
* Start playing with conservative, because just staying pegged at max
clock is entirely stupid.
And DVFS is extremely conservative, it needs somewhat sustained load to
clock up...
* Take care of the DVFS switcheroo in the Wi-Fi scripts
* Don't attempt to restart Nickel when asking for a reboot/shutdown
Use a magic exit code to ID those cases.
* Limit this to Kobo, to avoid breaking potentially existing assumptions
with other platform's startup scripts
- adaptative icons
- minify + shrink
- remove unused assets to save a few KBs
- install apk by clicking on notification after download (doesn't apply to F-Droid)
Includes:
new QualcommOnyxEPDController for Onyx Boox Nova 2 (and possibly others)
refactoring and support for qualcomm epd modes
Includes new eink test, that should work on Qualcomm Onyx devices.
- Lcd devices won't use the SurfaceView, just the good old native content/window (except AndroidTv and ChromeOS)
- All android dialogs will be presented with Material Design on recent devices.
- Added an option to device settings to manage application battery optimization.
- Permissions that require the user to go to a settings page will be presented with a native android dialog.
- bump android-luajit-launcher
- Changes under the hood: koreader/android-luajit-launcher#257
This allows for better energy efficiency (no more 50Hz tick poll),
as well as lower input lag / higher precision - touch events are
native linux ones.
In addition, auto off/suspend plugin is used in this mode, as we need
to trigger (timed) sleep / poweroff on our own, since the OS ones
will no longer work whenever koreader has focus.
This is for rooted devices only, and possibly somewhat FW
specific, so enabled only on PB740-2 where it's reasonably tested.
* PB Crash Screen:
* We don't actually support the "tap to restart now" behavior, it's a
plain sleep.
* Remove CBB toggling leftovers missed in #6696Fix#6780
The reMarkable version of fbdepth doesn't support the -1 rotation so
this was actually not setting the rotation at all. I didn't notice this
as I was always launching koreader from xochitl so the rotation was
already set correctly.
* Be even more defensive around KoboUSBMS handling in the startup script
And add some more logging. To the log before a session, to the syslog
after, because we can't be sure onboard is viable.
* Display a short version string straight in the Version label
* Move system statistics inside the Help menu
* Move Version inside Help
* Bump base
